Spaghetti with Spanish flavours is a comforting pasta dish with spaghetti, chorizo and red pepper. It is full of savoury appeal and easy to put on the table for a satisfying dinner, with savory cheesy notes and fresh herb flavour.

Preparation time: 10 min

Ingredients

• Chorizo – 80g
• Spaghetti – 300g
• Parsley – 20g
• Red Pepper – 2
• Olive Oil – 2 tbsp
• Parmesan Cheese – 50g

Method

step 1
Put a pan of water on over a high heat to boil. Meanwhile, snip the chorizo into strips with scissors, and chop the parsley and peppers (check for stray seeds first).
step 2
When the water is boiling briskly, add the spaghetti with a good measure of salt, stir and return to the boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
step 3
In a large frying pan, heat the oil, add the chorizo and peppers and plenty of black pepper. Cook for a minute or so, until heated through and the juices are stained red from the paprika in the chorizo. Scoop half a mugful of pasta water from the pan, drain the remainder and tip the spaghetti into the frying pan.
step 4
Add the parsley and parmesan, toss well and splash in the pasta water, to moisten. Hand round extra parmesan at the table.
